Maistra Select Family Hotel Amarin

Room view, cleanness, extra activities for the kids, absolutely wonderful stuff and great food

Cold sea :)

Lots of amenities and activities for children and parents alike

Personal preference but the beach is composed of pebbles rather than sand. But a pair of water shoes do the trick.

Everything for kids, excellent staff, all amenities you may need, tasty food with plenty of variety. There were free tenis lessons for kids, very cool nets for kids to play, game rooms countless activities and even care for a toddler (usualy playrooms only take kids 3plus old).

It could use s bit of updating of rooms, there were lineups in the restaurant and the indoor pool was a bit crowded but these are all minor things.

We are coming back at least once per year, this hotel ia amazing! we love the friendliness of the staff, taste and variety of food, entertainment for kids. Don’t change!

The only thing - the waitresses were super edficient so sometimes they were to quick to clean up our table at the dinner. And the cinema is not the same anymore without floor display. But nothing really to complain. Perfect vacation

The food is great. the location is perfect for sthe leisure time of the family

lack of a schedule of the activities at the moment of low season

Everything was on high level as it is expected, and as other reviews are presenting. A lot of facilities for kids, many activities both indoor and outdoor, for all ages. Rooms are quite bigger than usually in similar hotels. There is enough space in the room for baby crib, toys, and bags. The terrace is a special place with a sea view, also bigger than expected. Everything was clean, and the bed was very big and confrontable with a lot of pillows. Meals were great, there was many options for everyone, especially for kids.

Restaurant space for meals was not big enough during the weekend. People had to wait for someone else to finish their meal to enter the restaurant. Also, there is not enough space between tables and to many people, and kids are passing.

Hotel is amazing, especially when traveling with kids. They have so many activities organized for kids, no matter what is the weather like outside. We went out of the season and still had a lot of fun. Food is great and adapted for kids and families. There is a wide variety of dishes for every taste including prepared fresh food for babies.

Beds are too hard, and in the night can be noisy if room is close to the reception.

Meals and rooms are exepcional. I have never stayed in a hotel with this food diverse and quality. Pool area is waaay to small for hotel this size and if the weather is bad the hotel facilities are too crowded.

Everything :) so cool, staff was so so polite and helpfull, room was great with an awesome view. Food is great and so much things to do with your little ones. We had so much fun and enjoyed every minute.

Everything is really great. The inside polls they need some work, as the sauna’s but overall really good stay.

I like the rooms and everyone was really frinedly

The soundproof in the rooms is not really ok - you can hear everything from the hallway (to the extend you cannot sleep).Indoor pools are too small for such capacity of guests and the food was always cold and (apart from breakfast) not at the level you would expect for such hotel (poor choice, no choice of beverage and the two soup of the day were really not good). Bath-ropes were almost falling apart. Lastly there are many homeless kittens around hotel - it would be nice if the hotel of such renome would take care of them and steralize them…

-Rooms were clean, modern, and soundproof.-Nice balcony with sea view. Perfect for watching the sunsets.-Friendly staff.-Great value for money.-Close proximity to Rovinj. -Lots of places for kids to play; modern playgrounds.-Buffet had a large selection of food.

-The a la carte restaurants are only open in the summer unfortunately, so our only choice was the standard buffet food during our visit. -Be aware that this is a family hotel, which means everyone is there with kids, and most of the kids who were there during our stay were probably <8 years of age, so the dining area could be loud. This isn't a criticism of the hotel, just something to be aware of. -Would be nice to have a bar/lounge area further away from the play area, so the adults can relax a bit. I think there are more options in the summer months that we missed out on in early spring.

This was our third stay at Amarin hotel and it was as amazing as the frist time 8 years ago. Hotel is as good as new. It is a paradise for children, and also for the parents. there is no single thing to complain. Choice of food is amazing at all three meals.

Accommodation, location, nature. Kids had some fun stuff to do but not all was available or operational. Restaurant staff was extra polite and helpful, food was excellent!

Room necessities were not available on our arrival. In one room there was no heating in the bathroom and no shower gel. In other room hair drier was not working. Game room had issues with Play Station so we couldn't play even though we reserved the play room. Reception staff was not helpful, we had a medical problem ant they said we need to go to Pula whish is a 45 minute drive and there was a hospital near by ( 4 min drive) that helped us which we found out by accident talking to some locals.

Nice accomodation, lovely rooms, great food. Love the kids section in the dinnig room. Thats great.Outdoor playground is also splendid

I’ve miss some more indoor kids games, like table soccer, air hockey. It’s great, but there are only two tables of table soccer and one air hockey for the full hotel of kids. ImagineThere is also nice wall video game, where more kids can play one game, but there are only four balls.

Big bright room with large terace. Food was excelent and different every day. Kids have a lot to do all day long. There is a table tennis, hand football, air hockey.....

If you have only one kid it would be great if they would have some games for one child only.

Our stay was great. We have a 6 month old baby and the hotel provides everything the baby needs. Our daily activities were mainly swimming in the pool and going for walks. Food is plentiful, and it's also a great choice for baby. We will definitely come back.

Maybe breakfast could start at 7am and lunch at 12 noon

The playgrounds

PILLOWS AND MATRESSES

Amazing location, really good food, kind staff and a lot of activities for the kids.

We liked the food, cleanness and the surroundings are beautiful, we spent most of our time outdoors.

We missed quality content and activities for kids. We have been visiting Amarin for 5 years now and when they were younger (to be clear they are now 4 and 7 ?) they were easily animated but now they didnt find the clubs interesting, most of the activities are recycled and also done in not such motivating setting. My personal feeling is that they dont even have proper education to work with kids. Unfortunately, there are places alike where we had much higher value in this segment (e.g. children were preparing a show together in three days on all languages). This is a huge deal breaker for us, because if we are having fun only outdoors than we dont need familly hotel, we can opt for a signigicantly cheaper and also high quality hotel without animation. We are hoping the hotel will value the feedback and consider about seriously reinventing club content.Last but not the least if you position yourself as an all inclusive than be one. It is not about money. I’m talking about 4-5 coffees 3 euros each. But it is annoying having to add it up on a 700 euro bill. It is about experience. And again competition is fierce, we have had experiences were all food and drinks, children snack, all day fruit, etc. are available 0-24 at no additional fee…

Hotel is full of different places to do and have fun with kids, the food is ok and you can find some quiet place to eat. The water in the pool was warm most of the time. The stuff is very nice and helpful.
